The interwar years were full of marvelous engineering masterpieces pushing the limits of science. This isn't one of them.

"How many Fords does it take to fly?" is a question that never needed to be asked, and definitely never needed to be answered. The answer is one, but 3's a better option in case you want to take both balls along.

In the centre is a Ford Model A Fordor Sedan. To port, a Model A Coupe, and to starboard a Roadster. The outer 2 Fords have had their 75-horsepower car engines replaced with a small 400-horsepower propeller engine sticking out of the radiator. Cruising speed is about 60 miles an hour, and it'll gladly take off at 50, Careful not to overspeed the props - this is 1928 we're talking about; they're manually pitched.
